Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7

Why do we waste time thinking about tomorrow and allow fear to rob us of strength for TODAY? God opens our eyes and readies us to rise. He helps us learn to focus on Him. He allows peace to dwell when we take time to receive Jesus and focus on the power of His love. 

Anxiety will disrupt God’s plan for our lives. It will fill us with doubt and diminish the hope of accomplishing great things. But, Jesus will take action to help us, if we faithfully trust in Him. He will diminish the source of our weakness, if we have faith and learn to surrender our fear. 

When we pray, God will arm us with everything we need. He will set the stage for what’s to come. He will humble us with a heart of hope and help us discover His peace. If we focus on TODAY and BELIEVE in the strength of His will, grace will cover us in calm and we will be able to gratefully welcome JOY each of our tomorrows. 

Dear God, Thank you for waking us in the presence of Your peace. Help us focus on YOU and begin this day in praise. We will love YOU with all of our hearts and find strength in the care of Jesus. We will trust in Your plans for tomorrow and not waste time worrying about TODAY. Amen
